AONB North Devon

The North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) represent a stunning section of the coast which is nationally protected to preserve the beauty of its landscape. Situated in the heart of North Devon's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the AONB covers 171 km2 of coastal landscape. The lowest point can be found at Northam Burrows, with the highest point at Berry Down near Combe Martin across from the Hangman Cliffs on Exmoor.
The AONB’s coastal boundary varies from low to high water marks across the site and extends out to the South Tail sandbank on the mouth of the Taw Torridge estuary. The Hartland Heritage Coast, North Devon Heritage Coast and Braunton Burrows, where the Biosphere is located, are also covered by the AONB, so you are never too far from the site when visiting North Devon.

Amazing sights

The coastal setting of the North Devon AONB and the features of its landscape make it an attractive place to visit and there are gorgeous panoramic views across both land and sea at various points across the site. The site provides a wonderful backdrop to the many businesses and accommodation options in North Devon, allowing for a closeness to nature alongside beautiful sand beaches, calming woodland and heritage areas.

The areas that cover the Heritage Coast remain largely undeveloped so that the region retains its historic legacy and gives visitors the chance to learn more about the region’s heritage. Despite being designated as an area of importance, there remains a high level of public access throughout the North Devon AONB, with the South West Coast Path running along its entire length, the National Trust managing large sections of the land and there being public beaches and sand dunes which are open all year around.

The North Devon AONB contains a diversity of scenery, landscapes and habitats, enhanced by its rich and varied wildlife. In spring, woods full of bluebells and displays of hedgerow primroses are spectacular, but for those who wish to explore further, there are numerous rare and protected species and sites to discover. The North Devon AONB works to promote and protect the area’s biodiversity and geodiversity, environmental quality and climate, historic environment and natural landscape character.

The landscape around the AONB varies from wild coastal cliffs, waterfalls, rocky coves, sand dunes, beaches, valleys, villages and just about everything in between. As an official AONB, the area is committed to conserving the outstanding wildlife, landscape and heritage of the region, while also supporting sustainable development for the communities that fall within the AONB.
